TheWGSWManagedSwitchisshippedwithdefaultIPaddressasfollows:
IPAddress:192.168.0.100
SubnetMask:255.255.255.0
To check the current IP address or modify a new IP address for the Switch, please
usetheproceduresasfollows:
Show the current IP address
1.Atthe“GS-4210-8P2T2S#”prompt,enter“show ip”.

6.SavingtheCongurationviatheConsole
In the switch, the running conguration le stores in the RAM. In the current
version, the running conguration sequence running-cong can be saved from the
RAMtoFLASHbywritingthecommandorcopying the running-cong startup-
cong command, so that the running conguration sequence becomes the startup
congurationle,whichiscalledcongurationsave.
1.At the “GS-4210-8P2T2S#” prompt, enter “copy running-cong startup-

The following shows how to start up the Web Management of the Managed
Switch. Note the Managed Switch is congured through an Ethernet connection.
Please make sure the manager PC must be set on the same IP subnet address.
For example, the default IP address of the Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100,
then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.0.x (where x is a number
between1and254,except100),andthedefaultsubnetmaskis255.255.255.0.
